Random, Possibly Obscure Football Stats/Facts

So since football season is over and if your anything like me, are going through withdrawals, I decided to put up a thread that people can use to post random possibly obscure football statistics and/or facts. They can be either College or Pro and the more interestingly obscure the better.

I'll get it started.

Did you know?

That the San Francisco 49ers are the only team to have been in the Superbowl more than once and to have never lost? In all 5 appearances they have made, they have won every time, they have never lost a Superbowl appearance.

Yep. The defense has to gain possession during a point-after attempt, then fumble the ball backward into the end zone and fall on it. I believe it happened during a UT/A&M game.

This is not quite the same thing, but I recall our game against Texas in '98 (wherein Ricky Williams had 354 rushing yards ) featured defensive returns for points on two of our point-after attempts. I think one was a blocked PAT returned for a defensive two-point conversion and the other was an interception returned. Pretty sad. We lost something like 54-33. Wild game.
